Paper Craft Crew Challenge (PCC320)

To encourage my creative side, I am going to participate in the Paper Craft Crew Challenges (PCC320) - a Sketch Challenge which is the first of the new year. The sentiment on my card is to remind me to continue to step out of my comfort zone and reach for the stars! 

 

Here is my card:

I masked part of the "water" on the Lily Pad Lake stamp and stamped it in Tranquil Tide on Whisper White stock.  I next stamped the Frog in Garden Green.  Using the Soft Seafoam blends I colored in the water and frog using the Garden Green markers along with the Daffodil Delight blends; added the Crown (from So Happy) and colored in Daffodil Delight blends.  I used the Stitched Circle to cut out the focal point. I die cut the marsh grass in Tranquil Tide and the lily pad which I colored using the Soft Seafoam & Flirty Flamingo blends.  For the three embellishments I stamped the little bugs from So Hoppy in Tranquil Tide and added the enamel dots.  The sentiment is stamped in Tranquil Tide and separated by the marsh grass.
